Robinson Chirinos (ankle) could be available to play as soon as Wednesday.

Chirinos is feeling better than expected Monday after spraining his left ankle Sunday. "I woke up today, and it felt better than I thought," Chirinos said. "I hit in the cage. It felt like I can deal with it. The way I felt yesterday, I thought it would feel worse today." With Chirinos considered only day-to-day, the Rangers can go back to shopping Jonathan Lucroy.

The X-rays on the ankle of Robinson Chirinos came back negative on Sunday.

The backstop was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays after a collision at home plate resulted in a sprained ankle. It's unclear how much time he stands to miss, but the fact that there's no structural damage is an encouraging sign. Jul 23 - 4:03 PM

Robinson Chirinos was pulled from Sunday's game against the Rays after a collision at home plate resulted in a sprained left ankle.

Rougned Odor's throw home in the bottom of the fourth inning took Chirinos into Adeiny Hechavarria and the catcher was knocked over (he did hang on to the ball). After initially staying in the game, Chirinos was pinch-hit for by Jonathan Lucroy in the top of the fifth. He'll undergo X-rays. Jul 23 - 2:58 PM

Carlos Gomez (shoulder) is not in the Rangers' lineup Thursday against the White Sox.

He hasn't played since Sunday while struggling with a cyst on his right shoulder. Drew Robinson will draw the start in center field and bat eighth Thursday against White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez. Gomez remains day-to-day.

Gonzalez had been working his way back from a slight UCL tear in his throwing elbow but Tommy John surgery became necessary after a recent setback. His surgery will be performed by Dr. Keith Meister. This will knock Gonzalez out for all of 2017 and probably most of next year as well. The right-hander holds a 4.54 ERA over 17 big league appearances including 13 starts.

Rangers placed RHP Keone Kela on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to August 5, with right shoulder soreness.

Kela made just two appearances in two weeks after returning from the DL with the same shoulder issue, so it seems like he never actually made it back to full health. The Rangers figure to proceed more cautiously with him this time.

Jake Diekman (colon) will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

His outing will be capped at 15 pitches. Diekman has yet to pitch in the majors this year after undergoing surgery to rebuild his colon. The hard-throwing 30-year-old will serve as a left-handed specialist when healthy.
